"Olive oil" is becoming established on the Japanese table. If you have a lot of trouble, you want to find the one you like and enjoy it. But it takes courage to buy a whole bottle of oil that you haven't tried. Even if you want to compare various things, it costs money and you do not know what kind of oil you have in the first place! We recommend "VOM FASS", which sells olive oil by weight.

At "VOM FASS", you can buy as much oil as you need. If you tell us your favorite taste and purpose, the staff will select the olive oil that is right for you. You can taste all the products, so you can definitely choose the one you like. Here, we will introduce the selection of olive oil at the "VOM FASS" Daikanyama store. In addition, we asked the staff to select the recommended oil!

■ "VOM FASS" Daikanyama store

The "VOM FASS" Daikanyama store is about a 5-minute walk from Daikanyama Station. The walls of the open store, where the sunlight shines in, were lined with jars filled with olive oil. Also, the layout of the bottle containing oil near the window is very fashionable.

■ Choose olive oil!

There are basically 12 types of olive oil in the store. There are two main types, "plain type" and "flavor type". "Plain" is often named after the country of origin of the olives, while "flavors" are named after fragrances such as "basil" and "truffle".

◆ You can taste it!

The staff will explain each product carefully. If you find the oil you are interested in, first taste it! The first thing I tried was a "truffle".


"Truffle" is a flavorful taste that spreads the unique scent of truffles in the mouth at once. It seems to go well with egg dishes and mushroom dishes. For example, cream-based dishes such as carbonara and gratin. Besides, it is also recommended to drip it on the yolk of a boiled egg and eat it. It has a slightly peculiar taste, but it is an olive oil that you can enjoy even if you add a drop to your usual cooking.

The most popular plain olive oil is "Sicily". It is the easiest olive oil to use because it is fresh and has few habits. It goes well with salads, marinades, and carpaccio.

■ What is the recommended olive oil?

The recommended oils for the coming season selected by the staff are the flavored "Limone" and "Basil". In particular, "Limone" is a refreshing citrus oil that goes well with cold seafood pasta.

◆ You can also choose a bottle!

Once you have decided which oil to buy, the next step is to choose a bottle for the oil. There are many variations in bottle design. Since the color differs depending on the oil, the color of the bottle will change depending on the oil you put in, giving you a different impression. Perfect as a gift or kitchen interior!


The most popular type of bottle is the cute type with a wavy shape. Heart-shaped and diamond-shaped are recommended for wedding celebrations. At Christmas, etc., Santa Claus bottles may come out for a limited time.

◆ Put a message on the container

This time I bought the most popular bottle with a wavy design. The staff will pour oil into an empty bottle. "VOS FASS" also offers a service to write a message on the bottle. This time I requested "Special Thanks". In addition, you can write a birthday or wedding congratulatory message.


In addition to free wrapping, box packaging is also possible for a fee. This is recommended for gifts.



From oil selection to wrapping, the staff will consult with you, so you can complete the one you like. If you run out of one, you can try another oil.

If you are thinking of purchasing refill oil, take advantage of the "Free Refill PET Bottle Service". There are 300ml (10.14us fl oz) and 500ml (16.91us fl oz) refill pouches and 100ml (3.38us fl oz) and 200ml (6.76us fl oz) refill PET bottles, so you can easily buy them empty-handed. Both are free. We do not recommend storing oil in this bottle as it is a container for the purpose of purchasing refill oil. Also, if you bring a refill bottle, you can get a 30 yen discount service.

■ Flavor-based "Arancha"

By the way, some olive oil can be enjoyed over sweets. Many people should have felt, "Oil for sweets ...?" So I actually bought it and tried it!
I bought an orange flavored olive oil called "Arancha". "Arancha" is the Italian word for orange. It is recommended to use it as an accent in salads and carpaccio, or to make bread.

◆ I tried it on a salad

First of all, I tried it on a regular salad. Just open the lid and the scent of orange will spread softly.


The salad with "Arancha" has a refreshing taste with a clear orange flavor. "Arancha" seems to go well with the tuna that was in the salad. It might be a good idea to sprinkle it on a salad topped with salty ingredients such as bacon bits, smoked salmon, and cheese.

◆ Finally, yogurt!

Next, I'll put it on yogurt. It seems to go well with the refreshing "Arancha", but what is the taste?


The taste is lighter than I imagined! The orange flavor was added to the yogurt, giving it a refreshing taste. If the yogurt itself is too sweet, the orange flavor will fade, so it is recommended that the yogurt used be sugar-free.

■ Combined with olive oil

In addition to olive oil, "VOM FASS" also sells vinegar, liqueur, and whiskey by weight. For example, all the vinegar in the purple jar. The standard is "Calamansi", a citrus vinegar that can be used in any Japanese or Western style. It's delicious not only for dressing, but also for soda or mixed with milk or soy milk.





"VOM FASS" is recommended for those who want to try new dishes and those who want to find their favorite oil. Why don't GW find "one of your favorite" and enjoy a higher-grade dish than usual?

Business hours are open all year round from 11:00 to 19:00. It seems to be crowded in the afternoon, so if you want to carefully choose the oil with the staff, it is recommended to go in the morning.
